    Boomers have this weird fascination with race and sexuality

    @Salvy

    They put an Indian dude in Squid Game and it made sense, cause he explained why he was in Korea
    why aren't they putting like every nationality in it or trans people?
    does it make people want to watch it less? There's ZERO WHITE PEOPLE either and whities loved it, even that fat angry ones

    If you can have hospital shows without any Indian doctors you can have minorities in Lord of the Rings or GOT.

    There’s plenty of minorities in those shows but
    Rings of power is fugazi
    Cause Tolkien didn’t write it or make up fake hobbits

    I only watch shows with characters I can identify with due to my skin color. I couldn't possibly understand or enjoy a show without a character that does not represent the MAGA train...

    I've enjoyed both so far. Making a halfway decent fantasy or sci-fi show is enough to make me happy. Even the far less than the source Wheel of Time wasn't bad. I'm happy to be in an era when sci-fi, fantasy, and comics is being catered to.

    I don't get it, GOT has black dudes with bleach blond hair, can we not chastise both equally for stealing these actors from the spike lee movies and having the audacity of putting them into these premier series?
